IT'S GREAT TO SEE HIM RUN AGAIN

I noticed that the featured speaker for our I-4 Corridor Association program next Thursday evening is John Russell of Pasco County. John ran last year for the Fifth Congressional District seat currently held by Ginny Brown-Waite, coming in a strong second place in the Democratic primary. He's not giving up; while John has not officially announced his candidacy, he has let it be known that he fully intends to jump in. And that's a good thing.

John Russell has a unique voice to bring to the current debate over health care in America, especially when it comes to Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare. As a Registered Nurse, he sees first hand where the system needs to be fixed and actually has an idea on how to do it.

He also has something rarely seen in many candidates today: A real PASSION for the issues. Check out the Website (he never took the site down after last year's campaign, and has actually updated it since the election).
